Root system spreading WAY quicker than I thought.

10 years ago

I suppose it's a mixed blessing. I had no clue that the roots on these would grow so quickly. They are already searching outside of my drainage holes in the 5gal buckets. I tipped one up today and was mighty surprised. A quick check revealed that it is happening to all the plants too. On one hand, I'm glad they're growing so nicely - On the other, I wish I had opted for larger pots!

You will be fine with 5 gallon buckets. 7 or 10 might be better, but not enough to justify the added cost, weight and reduction in portability.
Those are great looking plants. I wont see plants like that until August.
